Scan to BIM means building a BIM model of an existing building in Revit from a laser-scan point cloud. Architects and engineers start from real dimensions instead of old or estimated drawings.
| Level | What it covers |
|---|---|
| LOD 100–200 | Building mass and main elements: walls, floors, roof. Good for concept work and quantity estimates. |
| LOD 300 | Elements with exact dimensions and placement: windows, doors, stairs, structure. The usual choice for design work. |
| LOD 400 | A detailed model at fabrication and installation level, for cases where individual details matter. |
We agree on the LOD, which elements go into the model and the formats you need.
We survey the building with a FARO scanner and prepare a registered point cloud.
The point cloud is loaded into Revit and the model is built on it, then checked against the cloud to catch deviations.
You receive the Revit model (RVT) and drawings produced from the model.
LOD 300 is usually enough for design. LOD 200 is a faster, cheaper way to estimate quantities, and LOD 400 is only needed where detailed connections matter. If you are unsure, we will help you choose.
We build BIM models in Autodesk Revit and deliver them as RVT files.
Yes. We agree the scope with you: the whole building, a single floor or only the façade.
